Timely SEO Writer, Entertainment Weekly
Are you a curious, insatiable media consumer with a deep knowledge of the latest TV dramas, celebrity news, and true-crime documentaries? Do you excel at pop-culture trivia? Could you just as easily assemble a roundup of stars with regrettable tattoos as you could a list of the best Robert Pattinson roles?

This person must be a fast, clean writer, a resourceful researcher, and a digitally savvy entertainment expert with a strong understanding of SEO best practices. The ideal candidate is a voicey writer who can have fun with their copy while maintaining authority on the subject.
EW is a fast-paced newsroom, so speed is essential along with the ability to pitch and write multiple articles per day of varying length. We’re looking for a talented writer who regularly consumes new and popular streaming content and has a wide-ranging interest in celebrity and pop culture.
